Dear Audiogoners – about a month ago my DAC started to go show some strange symptoms: After correctly “locking” to my transport, it plays first CD without interruptions. When second (sometimes third) CD is inserted, there is no signal leaving DAC (while “lock” between DAC and transport remains on). This behavior also occurs while the transport is in the “shuffle” mode – in this case the signal from DAC disappears after 3-4 songs tracks being played.What could be the reason for this behavior? Thank you in advance for your thoughts…Lucian

It is hard to know what is going on. It sounds like a break in signal from the transport is in someway messing up the dac. I have had the ekianthus for almost 4 years and upgraded the chip to the new model and have never had any problems whatsoever. Did you buy it new, if so you should contact your dealer. Alternatively you might consider contacting Aberdeen (look up audiomeca new here, they are the importers). Perhaps even better would be to write audiomeca. Anytime I have had questions they have been most helpful. hope this is of some help. If not drop me a note
